The Registrar of Wigwe University, Ulonna Inyama, has sparked concerns about medical negligence and hospital safety following the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death in Abuja.
TRUTHNG learnt that the deceased died due to complications from fibroid surgery and a wrong blood transfusion.
A family source who spoke with Vanguard said she was initially admitted to a hospital in Abuja for fibroid treatment but suffered a fatal reaction after receiving the wrong blood type.
The source said, “She died of loss of blood due to fibroid complications under mysterious circumstances. We were told that wrong blood transfusion led to her death.
“When her condition worsened due to complications, she was referred to another hospital, where she passed on.”
While the family has demanded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Inyama’s death, the incident has raised questions about the quality of medical care and safety protocols in Nigerian hospitals.
Ulonna Inyama’s death comes just months after the tragic loss of Wigwe University’s founder, Herbert Wigwe, who died in a helicopter crash in California, USA, along with his wife and son.
